NEH PRESERVATION ACCESS GRANTS AVAILABLE

The Division of Preservation and Access of the National Endowment for
the Humanities is accepting applications for grants in its research and
development program. The 2010 guidelines, which include sample proposal
narratives, can be found at:
http://neh.gov/grants/guidelines/PARD.html.

Grants in this program support projects that address major challenges
in preserving or providing access to humanities collections and
resources. These challenges include the need to find better ways to
preserve materials of critical importance to the nation’s cultural
heritage-from fragile artifacts and manuscripts to analog recordings
and
digital assets subject to technological obsolescence-and to develop
advanced modes of searching, discovering, and using such materials.
Maximum awards are $350,000 for up to three years. 

Prospective applicants seeking further information are encouraged to
contact the Division at 202-606-8570 or preservation at neh.gov.
